Exploring a secluded New Zealand river [fossil hunting]

I headed down to a new area near Christchurch to see if there were any cool fossils around, I knew I was in for a long day as I had to walk quite a few kilometers as well as find a route through some really thick bush. Luckily, some sheep had left a trail I could follow which took me to some interesting out crops with fossils in them.

That was a fun hunt, even if you didn't find anything. You never know unless you go out and look! Thanks for taking us along!

Yep, those were rose hips. Good source of vitamin C. Good day for a walk in the bush, and you learned what a wasp nest looks like. All around, I'd call that a win.

Mamlambu is the best fossil hunter. Legendary

Rose hip is very common in Sweden. We make juice (actually called “rose hip soup” in the store)of them and have it warmed up, with small almond biscuits and whipped cream, ice cream or thick yoghurt.

Even if you didn't find fossils, the stunning nature makes it worth anyways! Thank you for taking us with you :)

Thanks for taking us along...different rocks and such 😮

Good choice avoiding those berries. Rule of noshing on the unknown in the forest, " Red Means Dead".

Looks like a bovine(cow) humerus, although it could be equine(horse). You're pretty spot on with that guess

[@alignwithsarah]

Such a beautiful day for a hike and a special gift to come along with you! Love the videos thank you

[@johnfloydman7735]

I am pretty sure that was a rose hip .. possibly dog rose.. we have lots growing in the hedge rows over here in the UK 👍 great video. Looks like you are having some lovely weather..

[@brownfulla202]

Lovely video! I enjoy them, it teaches me what to keep an eye out for when I eventually go fossicking myself :)

[@sandmaker]

That was a nice little jaunt. I hope you didn't get scratched up going through the jungle. Keep having fun!

My parients had different types of Rosehips in their garden... It makes great wine and can also make jam with them. Unfortunately not used as much as years gone past. Always learning from your channel... Some how I missed this episode.

[@mydentait-cotton7021]

Awesome vid, those berries looked like rosehips to me. I believe the one you have found is called a wild briar bush in Christchurch. Usually, the berry is abundant on hillsides of Otago during late autumn and through winter. Nice find! Makes yum jelly :)

[@kristikey8320]

Looks like rosehips to me. If you eat them raw, be sure to open it up and scrape the little hairs out of the middle first. They can be irritating coming out!

[@NuclearArcticFox]

Looks like rosehip that we got here in Siberia. Except our rosehip bushes are not as high and bushy.

[@basknation]

That’s a rose hip alright but scrape away the furry seeds before you eat the thick skin. Makes great tea and jam once cleaned.

[@allosaurusrex562]

Those are rose hips, but i'm not sure i'd ever eat them fresh as i've been told that the fur on the seeds can be extremely itchy

[@JasonDouglasRalph67]

I can confirm that those are Rose Hips, you can make a nice jam with them.

[@vandelftcrafts2958]

yup those are rosehips! make a really nice jam as well
